Chapter 313
Gu Wanqing knelt down with a plop: "Your Majesty forgives me, the sister of the courtier did not intend to disturb His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and King Zhao, but it was an unintentional mistake, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me!" ”
Gu Xici came back to his senses because of Gu Wanqing's words, and immediately withdrew his gaze from the man, and looked coldly at Gu Wanqing who was kneeling in the center of the hall.
Gu Wanqing never thought about it, she just wanted Gu Xi to make a fool of herself, but she didn't expect to almost hurt His Royal Highness the Prince, but fortunately she just fell on the body of King Zhao Chu Jin, if it really hit the prince, not only her, but even the Prime Minister's Mansion would be affected by her!
The emperor also came back to his senses because of Gu Wanqing's words, but in the face of such a beauty, who can blame? On the contrary, I was a little curious in my heart, and I was surprised that the Gu family had such a daughter.
"Haha, you said it too, but it was an unintentional mistake. And today is the festive season, everyone relax, you don't have to panic. ”
The queen hurriedly waved her hand and asked someone to lead Gu Xici and Gu Wanqing down. Gu Xici lowered his head and said nothing, and as soon as he saluted Gu Wanqing, he planned to leave quickly.
There were too many pairs of eyes staring at her, which made her uncomfortable.
She was about to leave, but a cold voice suddenly came from behind her: "Slow down first." ”
Hearing this familiar voice, Gu Xici's face quickly turned cold, but Gu Wanqing smiled back, very surprised, it was the prince's voice!
Prince Chu Yu's gaze was tightly locked on the stiff back, and he gently hooked his lips and smiled, provoking the admiring glances of the people around him.
"Is there something wrong with the emperor? Why did you suddenly tell them to stay? The queen saw her son's thoughts and asked with a smile.
Gu Wanqing, the girl of the Gu family, also grew up watching her since she was a child, she is virtuous and good-looking, and the dance just now is even more talented. Compared with the stupid and stupid concubine Gu Xici before, I don't know how strong it is. If the prince can take a fancy to it, wouldn't it be a happy event?
Not only the queen, but everyone at the banquet was also looking at Chu Yu.
The prince's slender and powerful hand crossed the halfway, fixed directly in front, and pointed to the woman in front of him, "I want her to be my crown princess." ”
Although everyone had been prepared, when they heard the prince say that sentence himself, the hall was suddenly enveloped in sighs. And among them, the most shocking thing was Gu Wanqing, her mood seemed to have gone from heaven to hell, and her face, which was originally full of shyness and joy, instantly condensed into frost and lost all her blood. The pale and weak seemed to be able to blow her down with a breath, and the tears in the apricot eyes fell uncontrollably.
Everyone's eyes were staring at her with jealousy, hatred or sighs, Gu Xici only felt goosebumps all over his body, stiffened his body, and turned his head slowly, little by little...
The person he was pointing to was himself.
The queen's face was gloomy, and when she saw Gu Wanqing shaking her shoulders, like falling leaves in the wind, and pear blossoms crying with rain, she blamed the prince for being imprudent: "Prince." There are still a few young ladies who haven't seen it, so why make a decision in such a hurry? Why don't you read it before you decide? ”
"No, all I want is her." Chu Yu's eyes were firm, domineering, and his eyes flashed with determination when he looked at Gu Xici. And Gu Xici didn't care that the other party was the prince, and his eyes were fixed on him. The two of them did not back down from each other, and their fierce gazes were as if no one was there, and it seemed that if they got closer, they could detect the lightning and thunder.
is worthy of the woman you fancie! The corners of Chu Yu's mouth curled, and the more he looked at Gu Xici, the more satisfied he became.
The queen originally wanted to hand a step to the prince, but Chu Yu's attention had already been taken away by Gu Xici, and she didn't understand her good intentions at all, so she had to sigh helplessly, turned her head to look at Gu Xici, picked up the majesty of the queen and asked, "This girl, which young lady of the Gu family is it?" Why haven't you seen it before? ”
Prince Chu Yu looked at Gu Xici with satisfaction, from today on, this woman is his.
Gu Xici couldn't help but chuckle, looking at Chu Yu with even more disdain as if he had seen a clown.
She turned around and knelt down, with a hint of coldness in her tone: "Back to the queen's mother, the courtiers are in the Gu family, and their name is Gu Xici." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
This...... How could this be?!
The third lady of the Gu family is a notoriously fool! Although she has been beautiful since she was a child, she is still a fool in the end, mostly relying on her mother's skillful dress. What's more, the crown prince announced that he had divorced this fool a few months ago, how could it be this beautiful person in front of him!
The crown prince picked the abandoned concubine three months ago, and this scene made everyone present can't help but look at the prince who was standing in the position.
Prince Chu Yu's face was as black as the bottom of a pot at the moment, and his chest rose and fell slightly, which showed that he was not angry enough, and everyone was silent and did not dare to provoke, afraid that one action would make him angry with him.
Damn it! How could this woman be that fool!
A playful smile appeared on Gu Xici's face, and he did not have the slightest fear in the face of the prince's terrifying eyes that he was ashamed and eager to kill.
The emperor and queen on the chairmanship are even more embarrassed, it was their royal family who took the initiative to repent of their marriage without believing in their words, and now they want to marry her as the crown princess or their family, where is the royal majesty?
"The second brother's vision is so good, from the beginning of the game, I was attracted by this water hibiscus!" Chengwang Chuxun played with the folding fan in his hand, stepped forward slowly, and said in a happy tone: "I don't know the Prime Minister, who is this young lady?!" ”
Cheng Wang Chu Xun pointed his fan and brought everyone's attention to Gu Wanqing.
After being reminded by King Cheng, the people around him instantly sobered up. can mix in the officialdom has eyes, anyway, the position of the crown princess has nothing to do with her own family, it is true that she didn't see it to save the royal face!
Even Gu Xici couldn't help but bow his head and smile, the scumbag with green tea is a perfect match for eternity.
The prince exuded black qi all over his body, his fist was clenched by him to the bone, but he had to squeeze out a smile on his face, gritted his teeth word by word and said: "Sure enough, it is the seventh who understands me best." ”
"Of course, you're my brother." Chu Xun patted the prince's shoulder good-naturedly, but he was secretly happy in his heart, this third lady of the Gu family was really unusual, and he had to grab it.
His eyes swept around Gu Xici, who bowed his head and was well-behaved, and he smiled silently.
Gu Wanqing realized that she had become the focus of everyone, and the prince brother she cared about the most finally set his eyes on her, even if his eyes were mixed with something that he couldn't understand, but it was indeed on herself.
The emperor also coughed a little embarrassed, "This is Gu Wanqing, the eldest lady of the Gu family?" ”
Gu Wanqing immediately knelt down in fright: "Minister... Courtiers... Panic..., the courtier's daughter is Gu Wanqing. ”
The emperor waved his hand and turned his head to look at Prime Minister Gu on the side: "Gu Aiqing, the prince envy your daughter, are you willing to marry Qin and Jin with me?" If you are willing to agree, you can let the queen pick a good day to do the two of them. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your love, and the minister has no objection. It's all up to Your Majesty and the Niangniang! ”
"That's it." The emperor waved his hand and ordered directly, "Empress, pick a good day and settle the big event as soon as possible." ”
The eldest lady standing beside Gu Yuan was very excited, she didn't expect the prince to choose her own daughter. took her daughter's hand to wipe her tears, hugged her arms and cried.
Gu Wanqing was still a little incredulous, the position of the crown princess came so easily, and she saw Gu Xici in a trance.
Oh, it's just a lowly concubine who is trying to compete with herself!
And this time Gu Xici and the prince's Liangzi are concluded, will she have good fruits to eat in the future? I'm afraid this slut will never want to marry in this life!
Thinking of this, the smile on Gu Wanqing's face couldn't be stopped, and the sad and depressed mood just now was swept away.
And Gu Xici, who seemed to know nothing about her resentment, just stood aside.
There was a noisy farce, she provoked the incident but looked like she had nothing to do with herself, and only watched the play on the sidelines.
Throughout the audience, she unintentionally found that there was still someone in the crowd, watching this farce with her, and even looked at her, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly. Although the other party only smiled slightly, Gu Xici had a sense of fear that had been seen through at a glance.
Chu Jin, the sick and weak Zhao King dressed in white, sat behind the prince, smiling, holding a wine glass in his hand and tasting it carefully, but his eyes stayed on Gu Xici.
Gu Xici was chilled by this gaze, and was about to flee, only to see Chu Jin suddenly stand up.
"Father, queen mother, son, son, please ask father and queen mother to fulfill one thing." King Zhao Chujin has a beautiful posture, and his salute movements are smooth, and there is an indescribable good-looking.
Chu Jin's action successfully blocked Chu Xun, who was about to take a step, he couldn't help frowning, a medicine jar ran out at this time to make a scene!
"Oh, what's the matter?" The emperor glanced at the empress, and they all saw excitement and joy in the other party's eyes.
There were many ladies and beauties at the banquet, could it be that Chu Jin, the king of Zhao, also had Mu Shaoai's thoughts? Although the matter of the prince just now was a little embarrassing, if he could complete King Zhao Chu Jin, it would be not bad.
The queen smiled gently, very lovingly: "Jin'er has a crush on a girl from which family, just tell me about it." ”
"Thank you, Queen Mother." Zhao Wang Chu Jin actually recognized it directly, and coughed twice in a row, his pale and delicate face became more and more fragile, and he looked up at the audience.
The wives of each family slapped their daughters on the head, as if they were facing a great enemy, they were worried that this medicine jar would take a fancy to their daughters, and they wanted to bury their daughter's head under the table.
King Zhao Chu Jin is good-looking, but this body is too ......
Is it still possible for a man who has a problem even surviving tomorrow to survive that aspect? If this is really chosen, isn't it just to let your daughter go to rejoice! Moreover, if King Zhao is powerless and powerless, a rich idler, it is okay, but in the royal family, how can there be less factional fighting? It's not good to say, when the crown prince ascends the throne, it is still a question of whether the Zhaowang family can save their lives.
The behavior of everyone made the emperor's face darken, and his voice couldn't help but raise his voice: "My son just said, you don't have to hide which girl you like, there is a father and the emperor to make the decision for you." You name it, and I will give you a marriage, so don't worry. ”
The decree is hard to disobey. The Son of Heaven was furious, ambushed millions of corpses, and the blood flowed like a river, and it is estimated that no one feels that his neck is hard and not afraid of knives.
Zhao Wang Chu Jin lowered his head and smiled softly: "Erchen fancied..." Everyone stared closely, and the quiet sound of a needle falling to the ground could be heard, so they heard him continue: "It is the person that the second brother has a crush on." ”
The gentleness between the bowed heads is like the green lotus in the pool, swaying and gentle, and it is not shy.
Such a wonderful picture...... If it weren't for what he just said.
The emperor's and empress's faces instantly became gloomy, and everyone did not dare to come out, for fear of angering the saint. The emperor just said a burning guarantee, Chrysostom Yuyan, can he still break his trust again and again in front of the ministers?
No, of course he can't! Do you want a royal face!
Gu Xici's eyes were full of questions, and he looked straight at the man with a gentle smile, and his pure eyebrows couldn't see the slightest problem!
His eyes are clean and clear, clean and clean, like the temperament of his whole body, clean without a trace of mortal distractions.
She had a lot of thoughts, is this person really so innocent? Or maybe the camouflage skills are so high that they have been hidden from everyone's eyes.
"Gu Xici." Although the emperor was dissatisfied, he had to look at the person in front of him, "What do you think of Jin'er's meaning?" Would you like to marry King Zhao? ”
The emperor asked generously, but in his heart he only felt that it was just a play, how could she refuse?
"Are you the concubine of King Zhao?" She looked up and replied, without the slightest panic and looked at the emperor.
The Emperor was taken aback by this gaze, and this was the first time in many years that someone was so unafraid of him. is just a little concubine, and she was once abandoned by the prince, and she is still obsessed with the position of concubine! This is inevitably too greedy, Jin'er can take a fancy to her, it is already a blessing that she has cultivated in several lifetimes!
"You're not exempt..."
"Yes, I will marry you as my concubine." Chu Jin's eyes were gentle, looking at Gu Xici.
The Emperor was startled and swallowed back the sarcasm he had intended to utter. Even the crown prince and Chu Xun, who were standing next to him, had a daytime expression, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were even more surprised.
Gu Huaqing, who had been hiding in the corner, couldn't wait to rush out directly and strangle Gu Xici to death!
is also from a humble background as a concubine, how much effort she has made since she was a child, but she can't get a straight eye. And this fool is just going to be a green leaf for her, why can he get everyone's favor all of a sudden!
Her eyes are now full of the word concubine, and her previous prejudice against Chu Jin's crooked illness has long been forgotten, and the title of concubine is enough to make her crazy!
The two looked at each other for a long time, and Gu Xici's sharp gaze was like a knife that seemed to be about to subdivide his whole person and see through it completely. Chu Jin always looked clean and innocent, with a gentle and harmless smile on his face.
"Okay, I promised."
The prince was itching with hatred, his face was full of resentment, and his eyes were staring at her face.
Chu Xun didn't expect the ending to be like this, he looked left and right, lifted the wine jug again, poured himself another glass of wine, and drank it all.
The emperor really didn't want to pay attention to these things, and directly ordered to explain: "Since the queen is happy, it's up to you to do it." The two brothers are close to each other, and they are married to sisters of the same family, so don't be ugly and make a fuss about one over the other, you should get things done as soon as possible. ”
"Your Majesty, rest assured, the concubine knows."
The crown prince Chu Yu suddenly said: "Father and queen mother, although the son has been the prince for many years, he has not made achievements for many years, and the son is ashamed, and he is even more ashamed of the Gu family. I implore the queen mother not to marry the crown princess for her sons so soon, and her sons want to make a career first. ”
"My son has a heart, it's ......" The emperor and empress were puzzled, but when they saw the prince's determined face, they went with him: "You are a brother, it is not good for the backyard to be empty, but since you have the heart to make a career, I am not easy to dissuade, I will give you a year." In any case, by this time next year, you must marry the crown princess, and you must not be too playful. ”
"The sons and daughters obey the teachings of their father."
Chu Yu lowered his head, and no one could see the distorted smile on his face. The crown princess is definitely going to marry, but who the crown princess is has to be decided by him!
Seeing that the marriage of the two princes has been settled, the queen of the mother world naturally can't forget the only one left among the three brothers: "Xun'er, your two brothers have chosen the princess, don't you have a crush on which lady?" Taking advantage of such a festive season, why don't you also ask this palace to protect you with one more matchmaker? ”
"The queen mother has a heart, but for her sons, no matter how beautiful a beauty is, she is not as beautiful as Du Kang!" Chu Xun raised his hand and drank the wine in his hand.
The emperor also raised his glass: "Ladies and gentlemen, come, drink this glass of wine with me!" I only wish that my Great Chu Country and the people will be safe, the wind and rain will be smooth every year, the people will have a bumper harvest, and the society will be stable! ”
Everyone responded to the emperor's words, and shouted long live, forgetting the previous farce with tacit understanding.
